22、 Food experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the kitchen sink or nearby food. But it's been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing(冲洗) off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are common in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria.
The do-not-wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn't caught on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important.
But food preparation is a complicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if it's not washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging.
The USDA-funded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E. coli (大肠杆菌) and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking.
To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you aren't out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.
【1】People don't accept USDA's advice because _______.
A.the advice is relatively new.
B.cooks clean the turkey before cooking it.
C.cleaning seems more trustworthy.
D.heat can kill most germs and no one eats raw food.
【2】What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?
A.Food packages carry germs.
B.Germs from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not.
C.Hands and surfaces are easy to get E coli.
D.Multiple methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.
【3】Which way may help to cook a turkey safely?
A.Rinse off the turkey before it is heated.
B.Keep the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator.
C.Wash hands and packages before taking out the turkey.
D.Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey.
【4】From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken?
A.Cooking.
B.Technology.
C.Science.
D.Medicine.
23、If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson,” and “Webster,” but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English-William the Conqueror.
Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last. In l066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of Eng-land while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of Politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.
【1】The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before l066 were
A．Welsh and Scottish
B．Nordic and Germanic
C．Celtic and Old English.
D．Anglo-Saxon and Germanic
【2】Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?
A．president, Lawyer, beef
B．president, bread, water
C．bread, field, sheep
D．folk, field, cow
【3】Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?
A．Most advertisements in France appear in English.
B．They know little of the history of the English language.
C．Many French words are similar to English ones.
D．They know French better than German.
【4】What is the subject discussed in the text?
A．The history of Great Britain.
B．The similarity between English and French.
C．The rule of England by William the Conqueror.
D．The French influences on the English language.
24、 Many people believe that goldfish have a three-second memory. In fact, goldfish have very good memories for fish. They can be trained to react in many ways to certain colors of light and different kinds of music. Researchers have successfully taught goldfish to play fetch, push levers, and even play football.
Around a certain person the goldfish are very familiar with, they will often be much more active and even sometimes stop considering the person any kind of danger, even if that person sticks their hand in the water and tries to touch them. Around strangers, on the other hand, the goldfish will often hide. Blind goldfish also show this same type of behavior, except they react to the voice of their owner, similarly to how the non-blind goldfish react to the sight of their owner.
In one experiment, researchers even got the goldfish to learn that if they pushed a certain lever at a certain time of day, they would get food. If the lever was pushed any other time of day, nothing would happen. In very short order, these goldfish learned to only push the lever during the time of day it would produce food; the rest of the time, they took no notice of it.
In another experiment, researchers trained young goldfish to connect a certain sound with feeding time. They then released them into the sea. About half a year later, when the fish were fully grown, the researchers played the sound over a loudspeaker and the fish swam from wherever they were in the sea, back to where they were released. This has been suggested as a method to cut down the cost of raising fish. Teach them to come when they are young and then release them into the sea and lakes to grow to adulthood naturally. It' s better for the environment and less cruel to the fish (relatively speaking).
【1】What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A.Blind goldfish can easily realize dangers.
B.Goldfish are able to recognize their owner.

【2】What does the first experiment mainly show?
A.Goldfish have a good sense of time. B.Goldfish are good at pushing levers.
C.Goldfish can play games with people. D.Goldfish like to be fed at a certain time.
【3】What can we learn from the second experiment?
A.Goldfish are fully grown within three months.
B.Goldfish prefer living in the sea to living in the lake.
C.Goldfish react quickly to the sound over loudspeakers.
D.Goldfish can remember things they were taught a long time ago.
【4】In which part of a magazine may the text appear?
A.Education. B.Environment. C.Sport. D.Science.
